Welcome to the Ocean Beach California VW Bus report. This is the ongoing trip, maintenance, and upgrade log for our 1976 VW Camper. The intent is to track the progress of "Independence" and to meet other local VW enthusiasts.

More repairs

If you haven't already figured it out, constant repairs are necessary for a 30 year old vehicle. And these things are most noticable after a trip and the motivation to fix them highest upon the return too.

Things improved:
sliding door was sticking -- WD40 to the rescue
driving door lock mechanism -- took it off, WD40, replaced, works now
door flying open while driving -- likely fixed by above
ordered new seatbelts

Open items:
oil change
find and stop battery drain
new windshield wipers
attach cooler/table more firmly to side
speakers
back running light (intermittent)
replace seatbelts
another pass at removing stickers
door panel trim and lots of latches
missing screws throughout

But don't get me wrong, she's running really nicely and looks like she'll be up for our drive up the California coast to Big Sur and another desert trip.

Beep beep!
